Here's an answer I got off of yahoo answers after googling for about 10 seconds. (You should try that next time)
"1) Because sales figures for the previous week are released on Monday. It only makes sense to start a new product the following day in order to get a full week of figures for the next round of figures.
2) It's a practice that has been followed for more than 20 years. Consumers expect them to come out on a Tuesday, so that's when they look for the new releases.
3) Since most stores receive new shipments of stock on Thursdays, if something released on Tuesday sells out the day of release, there's usually still time to add more to their week's order."
Hope those answers pretty much answered your question.
